HI,I am from India I had sex with an escort in the month of Dec2009 and in the month of march I started facing some strange symptoms like problems related to breathing,sore throat and so on. So I decided to go for a test and I have undergone tridot test and the result was declared negative I have repeated the same test from march to oct2010 and every time the result was declared negative. But what concerns me is that from past few month's I am having some lumps on my thigh's and on my back and I have a black nd red color scar on my abdomen nd I am also having slight pain in my stomach. Is tridot test equal lent to  Elisa.Some people say that tridot is a second generation test and is not reliable at 3 month's is that true am I safe. What about my symptoms are they related to HIV.

All tests are conclusive at 3 months.

Thank You Very Much.My last question if a test belongs to 2nd generation like that one I had undergone(tridot) will it detect the virus at 3 month's or will it take more time when compared to 3rd and 4th generation tests.

You tested conclusively negative. See your doctor if you are concerned about your symptoms they are unrelated to HIV.
